Anyone else notice that to do list widgets don't always update/work? AnyDo & Wunder
I was using anydo for a while but noticed the widget doesn't always work and update. Meaning the list isn't there or deleted items are still on it and if you click on the add to do button nothing happens.
So I decided to try Wunderlist and the same thing is happening.
Can this be an issue with 6.0? The to do widgets seem to be the only ones giving me any issues.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Opening the app fixes it, but that defeats the point of widgets. What launcher are you using? (I'm on Nova.)

[help] Widgets are not refreshing

this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the widgets wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock show the same problem.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Launcher Pro (Plus)

Is anyone else having issues with the latest version (0.8.6) of Launcher Pro? Specifically in my case, it seems to have some kind of a memory leak. IF you can get it to respond, it goes away as soon as you restart the app from the menu. It starts off by giving you "Problem Loading Widget" messages on your homescreens, then just basically locks up the phone. I'd ask this on the Launcher Pro website, but they have more trolls than even this one...
I guess what I'd REALLY like to know is if anyone here has any idea if something "Tasker" can restart an app on a schedule?
i personally havent seen any issues like that. the only time i ever got the "Problem Loading Widget" is when I flash a new ROM and reload LPP and restore my homescreen setup. Havent seen it be a sieve of memory either
i've had somewhat similar issues with lpp. my minimalistic text widgets keep crashing (i get the "problem loading widget" box) and i have to remove and re-add them.
i also have another issue that's really been bothering me. dock notifications aren't fully working. my gmail and missed call notifications work, but not the sms notification. i'm wondering if this has something to do with me using go sms pro instead of the default messaging app?
edit: whoops, i wasn't paying attention to where this thread was housed. my issue with lpp is on a thunderbolt, just to be clear.

Widgets keep overlapping?

I'm currently running the starskyrom with the EI22 modem and have go launcher installed but for some reason it will occasionally overlap widgets like calender and beautiful widgets. Never happened before.. Anybody have an Idea why this is happening?
I tried uninstalling golauncher and re-installing but same thing happens.
Go launcher includes options for tighter grids. Native 4x4 shouldn't allow overlaps.
There is an autofit option under Preferences->Screen Settings-> Auto-fit items.
Between those 2 settings, you should be able to stop the overlap.

I tried that but its weird cause it will merge widget from other pages and duplicate them on another while overlapping at the same time lol
Had something similar where the corner of the weather widget was showing in place of a widget on another page. I'm guessing you did it already, but delete and re add widget to the screen.

yeah tried that already.. Weird cause all the setting were the same coming from MIUI and I never had an issue with it.
Any solution to this? I'm suddenly having this problem. I first noticed it while trying another rom and uninstalled believing the rom to be in error. I went back to my staple rom and I'm having the same problem. I deleted Go Launcher Ex folder from SD, uninstalled and reinstalled..problem persists.

Beautiful widgets and Gmail widget

I recently had issues with the Gmail widget not updating at all, even after entering the Gmail app by pressing the widget, the widget will not update and stay outdated, unread emails will stay unread after reading them etc..
After searching I found out that Beautiful widgets is the cause, after uninstalling it the Gmail widget began updating again..
Just a heads up..
this sucks as I really liked BW and now I'm after a decent replacement.
fancy widgets is nice.

Exactly what I'm using atm..
Still no luck, it was updating here and there, sometimes took it a couple of minutes to update, but now it's stuck again, no updates.. I think it's a known issue now, heard allot of people complaining about it since updating to 4.0.4
I have the same issue. I'm running stock 4.0.4, unrooted. I'm also currently running Nova Launcher and have BW installed. However, it sounds like removing BW is not necessarily a fix...? I might try to uninstall it anyway and see how it goes.
Regardless, I've submitted a problem report to the Gmail team. Hopefully this will get fixed soon.
On a side note, I've been having similar issues with the Calendar widget. Anyone having that problem?

seperate apps by letter in app drawer

Hi, recently Nova launcher was updated.
Until now, I have used the list type in the app drawer and the apps were seperated into groups by the first letter of the app.
After the update the apps are still ordered alphabetically, but there's no seperation like before.
I tried messing with the settings and nothing I tried seems to do the trick.
Anyone knows how I can do this? (If it's still possible).
Thanks!
